Payment Information

E-Billing (electronic billing) is now the official billing method at Rhode Island College. It is reliable, convenient and provides faster and easier service for students and parents – and is more green than paper billing.

Students will be sent an email when an E-Bill is available for viewing. This email is sent only to the student's official RIC email address. Students may also give access to parents to view their E-Bills and/or make e-payments by setting them up as authorized users. Instructions are below. All enrolled students will receive an E-Bill. If you want a paper copy of your bill, you can log into the MyRIC account to print a copy.

Payment of Tuition Bills

If you register for early registration, you will receive a bill and payment
will be due prior to the start of the semester. You may make payment by cash,
check or electronic check, or by credit card using American Express, MasterCard, VISA or Discover. These methods are explained in detail below. Financial aid that has been offered and
that you have accepted may also be applied to your bill.

If you fail to pay your bill by this date, you may be dropped from your
courses. If you are dropped from classes for failure to pay your bill, you must
make arrangements with the Bursar Office before you will be allowed to re-access
the registration system.

If you are a non-matriculated student or a new student and you register during late registration for courses, you are expected to make payment within one week of your registration. You may make payment in person at the Bursar's Office or online.

It is your responsibility to make satisfactory payment arrangements. It is also
your responsibility to make certain that your registration accurately reflects
your enrollment intentions for the semester. Since bills are based upon
enrolled credits, you should drop unwanted courses as soon as possible.

You should address questions regarding payment to the Bursar's Office in Building 4, East Campus.
The telephone number for the Bursar's Office is (401) 456-8130.

Ways to Pay Your Tuition Bill

1. Electronic payment

Through the electronic payment option, you can pay by credit card, e-check or by using the RIC Funds card.

Credit card payments will have a convenience fee of 2.75% added to each card transaction (assessed by Cashnet/Higher One, not Rhode Island College). There is no fee for electronic check processing or payment using the RIC Funds card.

For Students: Log into MyRIC and select the link under Campus Finances to make a payment and follow the instructions.

To set up your parents as authorized users:

Log into your MyRIC account.

Click on Campus Finances > Make a payment > add NEW Parent (bottom left next to Parent Pins)

Assign your parent a username and password as directed

Authorized users who provide an email address will also be sent E-Bill notifications

For Parents: You will need to have the student authorize you to make the online payment (see process above). Once authorized, you will be sent a link via email from CashNet (Higher One) to complete the transaction.

2. Mail a check

3. In-person payment by cash or check

You may pay in person by cash or check at the Bursar's Office during regular business hours, Building 4, East Campus.

College Tuition Payment Plan

The college offers a monthly payment plan. The plan spreads your payment over
four installments during the semester. The enrollment fee is $35 per
semester. This fee is nonrefundable.

If you pre-register for courses for the fall or spring semesters, a bill will
be forwarded approximately six weeks prior to the beginning of the semester.
You may enroll in the payment plan by checking the payment plan enrollment box
on the bill and forwarding 25 percent of the semester balance, along with the
bill, by the due date indicated on the bill. You will be billed three more
times during the semester. For the fall semester the approximate due dates of
these installments will be September, October and November 15. For the spring
semester the due dates will be February, March, and April 15. If you register
during late registration you may select the "three payment plan." The final
three installment dates would apply each semester.

You may enroll in the payment plan by logging into the online payment link and selecting the pay plan option. You may also enroll in the pay plan at the Bursar's Office.
